A triptycene-based porous hydrogen-bonded organic framework for guest incorporation with tailored fitting

Abstract

A hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) was constructed by avoiding potential π-π stacking of building blocks with robust and non-coplanar triptycene-based modules. The tailored-fitting interactions were demonstrated by the adsorption of fullerene with a concentration enrichment of ∼420 times in the pores.
